The Teacher Gimmick as a gimmick is my single favorite one (I'm biased). But Striker is my favorite WWE guy and I think it suits him. I just want him to elevate his role in the company and head upwards.

It's good enough, gotta give the guy something to do, and he does it well

I wonder why the gimmick works for Striker but didn't work for Douglas.

IIRC, didn't Douglas actually dress in a graduation outfit?
You cannot get over dressed like that.

I wonder why the gimmick works for Striker but didn't work for Douglas. It's probably because Dean Douglas' promos were some of the most boring things I've ever heard. Douglas was stifled by the gimmick, and would have been better off as himself, but Striker makes the gimmick work for him by having fun with it.

I'm getting used to it. Which means that is probably by far the best "Teacher" gimmick ever. Shane's sucked........hard!. They apparently have learned alittle bit from their mistake(s).

I liked Dean Douglas' character and I like Matt Striker's character.

Maybe it also had to do with Shane not being into the character. Striker seems to like playing the arrogant teacher.

He is a good heel. I have not seen much of his ring work, but from what i have read elsewhere he is pretty good.

People are really starting to hate him.......I'd say let it continue. Lets see where it goes.
